Story behind the song

Even the working girls on Hollywood Blvd have hopes and dreams, but sometimes the past it just too strong.

Lyrics

From a town in Minnesota where some old folks own the store
To a town in California where a pusher owns a whore
She was just a little girl but she grew up kind of fast
Now she's going back, going back, going back

Early morning not so good the sky is grey and brown
And an old man on the corner wants to save the whole damn town
The cop out on the beat thinks he knows her all too well 
But she's going back, going back, going back

She walks across the street and she bums a cigarette
From a wino that she knew when he was driving a Corvette
But the darkness of the day can't hide the light inside her eyes
Cause she's going back, going back, going back

A letter comes from home about a niece she never met.
The doctors say she'll make it but her folks will go in debt.
And Uncle Don got married to a widow from the town....

Going back, going back, going back,
Going back, going back.
